"Number of days per year that private schools must be in session or the..."

According to thsc.org/FAQ:
14. How many days per year must we have school?
The Texas Education Code requires that public schools meet 180 days per year; public school students must attend 170 days/year. This applies to public schools only. Home schools in Texas are private schools, and the state of Texas does not regulate the number of days per year that private schools must be in session or the number of days a student must attend.
If that statement is accurate, one might infer that a student can miss up to 10 days in a school year, but that doesn`t match my experience in our school district.
I received a letter from the school district attendance committee, which said that Texas state law requires that a student attend 90% of the school days in the school year. The letter did not state precisely how many school days are in our district`s school year. If the total days=180, then 10%=18 as the limit for total absences. If the 90% is applied to the 170 required days, then 10% =17.
The attendance clerk at the school told me that 17 was “right at the limit”. I`m not trying to split hairs, but in fact, it was not clear to me if the limit was 17 or 18. Apparently, even if the number of excused absences exceeds the limit, there are some options available to the school district to allow a student to be promoted to the next grade level.
My son was sick several times over the 2009-2010 school year, missing full days, and had to leave school early for doctor`s appointments on several occasions. I always ask the doctor`s office for the latest appointment in the day that is available; attempting to minimize the time he has to miss school. The tally from the school record for the year was 17 (excused) absences for all his classes, except last period, where the total was 22. The attendance committee chose to give my son the opportunity to attend 2 Saturday school days, of 4 hours each, to “make up” the time that he`d missed in that one class where the total exceeded the limit.
While I`m not sure how the committee arrived at the exact amount of time that had to be “made up” on Saturdays, I am extremely grateful that my son was given this opportunity for a way to get promoted to 9th grade. I suppose the committee arrived at the 2 Saturdays requirement because the amount of time that he`d missed beyond the limit of 17 was 5 hours (approximately, if you count a 50 minute class as one hour ; 22 – 17 =5), and one Saturday session is 4 hours. Thus, they may have figured that he needed to attend 2 of these 4 hour sessions to meet the requirement. It could be argued that the number of hours missed exceeded the “limit” by less than, or approximately 4 hours (if 18 is the limit, and the class time missed is 50 minutes, then 22 -18 =4 X 50 minutes = 200 minutes / 60 min per hour = 3.3333.. hours, or 4.167 hours if 17 is the limit).
My take on this experience is that the attendance committee has some leeway in making the decision to allow or deny credit when there are excessive absences. The count of 22 in that one class could have been reason to deny credit. Perhaps the committee took into consideration that my son has been recognized as “gifted”, and mature. His TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge & Skills) scores are in the range defined as “commended”. His teachers recommended that he be promoted. I`ve stayed in contact with the attendance clerk and school nurse, and documented every absence with doctor`s notes. I believe that all of these factors influenced the committee members to allow this student the chance to make up for the lost class time.

It depends on the school you are. Most of the students have less attendance shortage at school compare to college. I remember on last day in the 4th semester of my college. Due to attendance shortage I can`t skip my class,at last I took help from professional resume writing service (http://www.resumeplus.us/) that help me to get my dream job.
